The Dance of Life

If all beings are Buddha -
why all this striving?
     - Dogen

Ah, the drama of Life - yes, we are all "Buddha", we are all "God". So why all the drama? Ay, there's the rub! The interchange of life and death, of struggling, of the experiencing of joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, beauty and horror. love and hatred, faith and unfaith - this is what makes the world go 'round. And for what? The Dance of Life is God's raison d'etre.
